MSN Autos (All Years)
All in one place: An overview for each model year the vehicle has been in production, as well as pricing, features & specs, photos & videos, and ratings & reviews - both from experts and consumers. Edmunds (2003)
A somewhat bland but otherwise utterly capable and perfectly useful crossover SUV. New Car Test Drive (2003)
Acura MDX offers an outstanding V6 powertrain, seven-passenger seating, and a standard four-wheel-drive system that prevents skids almost before they happen. Neat styling, attention to detail, and excellent crash protection adds to the attraction of the MDX. Yahoo Autos (2003)
With the addition of several luxury features, the '03 Acura MDX is a best pick. Car Buying Strategies (2002)
Sophisticated on the outside, luxurious on the inside, and packed with performance under the hood. Cars.com (2002)
It has unibody construction and four-wheel independent suspension for refined ride quality, yet the ground clearance is a healthy 8 inches. Edmunds (2002)
Cons: Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, lacks personality. New Car Test Drive (2002)
Among the best of the on-road SUVs. Yahoo Autos (2002)
The 2002 MDX is a 4-door, 7-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 4 trims, ranging from the Sport Utility to the Touring Package with Navigation System. Canadian Driver (2001)
Though it doesn't look it, the MDX is bigger than all of its competitors. Car Trackers (2001)
Its name suggests as much, with the initials meaning Multi-Dimensional Cross-Trainer, in the image of a toned athlete accomplished in various sports. Cars Everything (2001)
This one is aimed directly at the Lexus RX300, Mercedes ML320, and BMW X5, as a luxury family softroader. Cars.com (2001)
On the highway and back roads, it was a smooth, quiet vehicle. It was snug and sure in lane changes, even at commuter speeds. There was very little body roll in sharp corners. And in sudden stops its wonderfully powerful brakes produced negligible nose dive. Edmunds (2001)
The MDX comes standard with lots of goodies like leather upholstery, automatic climate control, a premium sound system with CD player, heated front seats and side mirrors, a power moonroof, remote keyless entry, a trip computer, privacy glass and a HomeLink universal transmitter. Epinions (2001)
See what fellow owners of the 2001 Acura MDX think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2001)
On the road, except for the high seating position, the MDX feels more like a luxury sedan than an SUV. It's quiet, the seats front and rear are comfortable for long distances, and it handles effortlessly with little body lean in the corners. Motor Trend (2001)
Rather than simply copying the soft, roadgoing domesticity of the RX 300, the ultra-sport excitement of the X5, or the low-range capability of the M-Class, Acura has chosen to blend elements of their various personalities for a balance between fun performance, real-world versatility, and foul-weather driveability none of the others can claim. New Car Test Drive (2001)
What isn't obvious except in a body-off view is the duality of the construction of the MDX. It is both unibody and body on frame! This is the thinking engineers' path to making a car/truck both a car AND a truck whichever is appropriate to the occasion. Popular Mechanics (2001)
One of the impressive features of the MDX is its drivetrain, which Acura calls VTM-4, for Variable Torque Management-4wd. It continuously monitors available traction and apportions torque to those tires that have the most traction, through all conditions. The Auto Channel (2001)
The MDX competes head-to-head with the Lexus RX300 in all categories. The power and performance are similar, with each vehicle reflecting the respective manufacturer's spin on a luxury vehicle. The Car Connection (2001)
In a time when it seems as if every manufacturer is doing four-wheel-drive systems differently, the MDX doesn’t disappoint. The MDX’s Variable Torque Management (VTM-4) four-wheel drive system is a unique, computer-controlled system that has a torque transfer unit attached directly to the transmission. The Car Connection (2001)
In fact, Acura's seven-passenger MDX may well have checkmated the entire SUV category as it presently stands.
